Abstract : In my research and through various observations, I realized that generally paganism is misrepresented, as Nicolas Bonnal wrote in his book Le paganisme au cinéma, paganism is, among other things, either "a despised or neglected spirituality, demonized or ignored". There is also a tendency to limit how it is represented in one way or the other when it comes to movies and TV series. For example, to some extent, we can argue that the representation of paganism is limited in terms of the genres in which it is featured. Why does it matter? I think it matters because of the cultural impact these genres are responsible for and this influences the way the audience sees paganism, the same way they do for many other issues such as the representation of people of colors, sexual minorities or gender equality. Nevertheless, I noticed there are various degrees of treatment when it comes to paganism in regards to where the movies or TV series come from, and in regards to the period in which they are released. Why so? This might be explained by the cultural context in which these movies andTV series are made and the actual status of pagan religions. I have observed that paganism is also limited in the narrative, with for example a tendency to isolate paganism in relation to the "open world". Furthermore, there is also a tendency to mostly apply negative stereotypes on it, which results in sometimes quite a negative representation on screen. Indeed, this may affect to some extent the way the pagan figures and traditions are depicted, represented, which I will deal with in detail with relevant examples taken from both the cinematic universe and TV series. First I will develop the idea that paganism is restrained by focusing on the narrative representation of paganism and what kind of limitations are being applied to it, then I will deal with how the genres also do limit the representation of paganism. This will finally allow me to expose the influence of the cultural context on the representation of paganism, especially in popular culture with movies and TV series.
